The ''Tease'' Litter Turns Ten!

It's hard to believe how quickly time goes by, but this week we celebrated the 10th birthday of Daisy's litter by Romeo!

Their most well known son, ''CH Afterglow The Big Tease,'' has given us so many wonderful memories, including his unforgettable performance at Crufts where he won the group and was RBIS under Peter Green of the USA, retiring from the show ring.




As a relative youngster, Donny scored a remarkable position on the Poodle world-map by winning the Standard variety from ''the classes'' at Poodle Club of America under breed-specialist Debbie Cozart (Cotian Poodles) and then BEST OF BREED under the late, great Richard Bauer!  He spent another year in the US, where he became a multiple all-breed BIS winner with his co-owner and handler Michael Pawasarat.

When his tenure in America was complete, Donny returned to England.  His first CC win led to his first UK BIS award from a field of some 10,000 entries!  His second CC, at the Scottish KC, was followed by a group first under Andrew Brace in an amazing line-up, and then his second Best under Derek Smith.

His third and championship ticket came from a Poodle Club BOB win under breeder-judge Linda Barker.

The following year, Donny was the Top Dog All Breeds in the UK!

He also represented the UK at the Eukanuba World Challenge in Long Beach, CA.

As a producer, Donny has sired several champions around the world, including our own UK & Am CH Afterglow Sugar Daddy who himself became a top producer.  3 puppies from Donny's most recent litter have become CC winners in Britain (including Crufts!) making him the breed's current Top Stud Dog.

Show-ring kudos aside, this intelligent, fun loving clown is an absolute delight in every way imaginable! He exemplifies the sense of humour and zest for life that make Standard Poodles the most wonderful breed...ever!
